EVERYBODY'S LAUGHING
BNen Oakland (m) Alan Jay Lerner (l)
as rec by Billie Holiday w Teddy Wilson & his Orch
Oct 31st 1938 New York
Everybody's laughin',
Everybody's laughin',
They know that you and I are through and everybody's laughin'!
I've told the world you loved me, and talked about it proudly,
But since they know it's over they're laughin' at me loudly!
People love to linger
So that they can point a finger,
And tear apart a gal who's heart was taken through the wringer!
If we could start all over, the laugh might be on them,
But meanwhile, everybody's laughin!
If we could start all over, the laugh might be on them,
But meanwhile, everybody's laughin!
